The block.
I'm writing today.
AND IT'S NOT GOING WELL.
The first two chapters seemed like a breeze compared to this one. I just...don't like it. I've tried writing it three different ways now, and while there are some really good parts to it, as a whole...I kind of hate it. And then I get frustrated and impatient and then I try to tell myself to "savor the writing" but then remind myself that I'm on a deadline and have already taken two weeks to savor the writing of ONE CHAPTER and then I want to both cry and kick some doors in.
So maybe I'll just scrap that whole thing, eh? You know what else I kind of hate writing? Back details. If you're the kind of person who can't catch up and figure it out without having every previous step outlined for you, then maybe you shouldn't be reading books. In fact, I think I'm going to make that the defining statement on the back cover: "If you're the kind of person who repeatedly asks, "Wait, what just happened?" while watching movies, then this book isn't for you. Don't read it. Also, maybe think about not watching movies anymore, or at least while with other people."
Alright, I'm going back in. If you don't hear from me in three days, it either means that I've had a breakthrough and am thisclose to finishing the whole entire thing, or it means that I tied a brick to my foot and then jumped in the lake. Either way, I love you.
